A photocrosslinkable water-soluble polymer has been prepared by partial esterification of poly(vinyl acetate-co-vinyl alcohol) with cinnamic acid. The photochemical [2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction has been used as a chemical probe for the investigation of different conformational states of the polyme

✦ Synopsis
Variations, as a function of temperature, are reported in the magnitude of values for the partial molal volume, partial molal expansibility, flowing volume and surface pressure for dilute solutions of a series of poly(vinyl alcohol-co-vinyl acetate) copolymers of various vinyl acetate contents and acetate sequence length. The temperature range investigated, from 5 ° to 30 °, showed that, for all the examples examined, a general behaviour pattern was observed, indicating the predominance of hydrophilic interactions at temperatures below approximately 10 °, with hydrophobic interactions predominating between 10 ° and 20 °. The variations can be related to the detailed microstructure of the polymer backbone.
